Revisiting sex scandals could benefit Clinton

Republicans can’t resist talking about sex in a way that degrades women, and by revisiting old sex scandals to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s political ambitions they’ll lose what female support they have left, says Frank Rich in New York magazine.

I agree with the other comments so far (1-3). This guy Friedersdorf works for Andrew Sullivan, whose similar views on the same topic you’ve already covered in a prior blog. The problem with both of them is that they make a whole host of very dubious comparisons then try to tie them together in some sort of coherent argument, and both of them fail. For example, Friedersdorf does things like imply that a person should just ignore Eich’s political views because other unspecified people haven’t tried to impeach President Obama for calling for drone strikes in Pakistan. Give me a break. He also implies that calling for the resignation of Eich at Mozilla is the same as trying to get a minimum wage worker fired from Walmart for doing the same thing as Eich. Give me a break #2 They’re obviously not the same. Eich was the CEO of a major institution whose mission statement is “… to promote openness, innovation & opportunity on the Web. “ Eich failed that mission, so he had to go, and he did. Eich did the right thing and Friedersdorf and Sullivan have done the wrong thing.
